Confessions of a Pagan Mom~ Confession #10

This post is titled "Confessions of a Pagan Mom~ Confession #10", but a better title could have been "Beware the Witch".

So here you go, the last in the series "Confessions of a Pagan Mom":

Confession #10: If you piss me off and I give you Food or Drink, beware; the witch in me rises to the surface. No, of course, I've never harmed anyone, nor would I. I'm a pacifist, a PETA embracer, a Flower Child-- a by-product of the Hippie transition of 1969 (the year I stood at the edge of teen-ager'dom), and I'm empathic (a new-agey label that could also be translated in more mundane terms to "Someone who is Super Sensitive to other peoples feelings and emotions"). And as I keep telling people, though I know there are some out there who just won't believe me-- "I'm NICE, damn it."

But if you piss me off; if you're rude, judgmental, cruel, nasty, or just plain Mean...Don't eat or drink anything I serve you. It might not be harmful, but there could be a serious "Ick Factor" involved here.

The target: one of my ex-husbands. His crime-- incorrigibility. I don't know what century this man was born in, but no, women were not put here to be at your beck and call, to be yelled at and intimidated, or to be belittled and controlled. What an idiot. Before serving this glowing specimen of chauvinism a cup of coffee, I spit in it. And I watched with great relish as he drank this special cup of coffee to the very last drop. (Ya, okay, there might have been an ancient curse thrown in there somewhere, involving some sort of chant thrown in for good measure, with some name-dropping of ancient Egyptian deities or something.) All I know is that Revenge tasted just as sweet and yummy as that cup of coffee.

The target: one of my ex-mother-in-laws. Her crime-- actually, she hit all of the above...rude, judgmental, cruel, nasty, and Just Plain Mean. I've never met a colder crueler individual in my life. She reinforced my belief in some sort of inherent evil in the world. She was Snow White's nasty step-mother and Godzilla all rolled into one. But I digress. Okay, she's in My House, on My Turf-- I already like how this sounds. She has belittled and insulted my children, tried to turn my husband against me, and made it her Full-Time-Job to bring me to my knees and destroy that enemy...Self-Esteem. This unfortunate woman accepted my offer, a cup of coffee. No, I did not spit in it-- really, give me some credit for imagination and creativity. This time I dipped my dainty little pinky finger in Something Really Icky, and I placed my finger on the rim of her cup, circling it widdershins (semi-clockwise to the muggles reading this), and this time I don't think, I KNOW, there was lots of chanting and mumbling and cursing and invoking, and other stuff. And I'm pretty sure Marie Laveau's name came up.

The target: one of my ex-husbands. His crime-- hmmm, I don't think this pertains to this incident, well, wait-- it could have been that I had some doubts here about fidelity. This is when he was a bit younger and seemed to have a roving eye and an unquenchable sexual appetite. Actually, I suspect when he was a young buck, out in the backwoods, he probably f***ed anything that moved. But this is just speculation, and I'm only dealing with what I was actually witness to and what involved me directly. Again, I digress. Anyway, so I decided to do what I warn almost everyone else about doing (we never listen to our own advice, almost never). I cast a love spell, the strongest that there is, and yes, it involved Something Icky and Something to Drink. No, I'm not going to tell you what any of the Something Ickys are, I don't want to give away all my magickal secrets! But when I cast this spell, because actually that's what this was, the timing and the universe lined up perfectly: It was during a Full Moon, which fell on a Friday (Venus, loves spells, and all that, for the muggles unaware of this), and the date was significant, the number or something, though this was so long ago, I don't remember now. If this man still can't get me out of his mind, this spell (and that special glass of Coca-Cola) are probably the reason.

I have to add a footnote about the first incident and "spitting". I was told a story, long after my own experience had taken place, of a not-so-distant relative who did this very same thing when asked to fetch a drink for a very nasty individual (a teacher or something, I think it was). Anyway, I had to chuckle to myself at the time, but I didn't confess my own actions to the story-teller. I laughed at their story and thought to myself, either me and my not-so-distant relative are the epitome of that famous saying "great minds think alike", or we're both just real poops.

Such an awesome post, Thank You once again for sharing Amythyst. I can certainly relate to the ex husband situation. I've had to hold myself back many times over many years not to use a spell or two against this extremely cruel man.

Thank You for your reply Amythyst. Getting back to you quite late, I apologize. Why?? Well anger of course would be the answer and although he deserves the very worst thing that could happen to him, I don't want that force I may cast coming back to me. So a bit of fear on my part as well for my own fate and health. Although I am able to realize not to call upon that wrath while angry and set in motion the powers that be and what I would want to see happen. As much harm and abuse he gave, I'm afraid what I may send his way will be too harsh. Once I begin, I am unsure if I can control what is within me and what I send out.

Radio Interview:

I was thrilled to be a guest on "The Consiousness Shift" with host Gwendolyn Holden Barry to discuss my newest book: "The Spiritual Feminist", release date April 24th, 2015.

This book is a project that I've worked on for two years; a project close to my heart, one that I believe will have a magickal connection for women. It's a book of healing and empowerment, of rediscovery and renewal.

Sit back and enjoy the interview...Watch for "The Spiritual Feminist" this Spring! Buy a copy and rediscover the Woman you are.

Click on the Book Cover above & it will take you to my Amazon Author Page, where you can purchase YOUR copy!

Natural Magick the Gray Witch Way explores the magick and mystery of old world traditions from a unique perspective, that of the Gray Witch. While the modern world and everything in it are often viewed as either black or white, there are those magickal practitioners who recognize a more realistic normality ~ that shady gray area where the lines are blurred, and the adventuresome practitioners will discover thatwitchcraft can consist of power and justice, as well as love andpeace. And in this realization comes an epiphany, one is not sodifferent from the other. Natural Magick the Gray Witch Way is an excellent companion book to The Gray Witch’s Grimoire!
